Watch Orange Is The New Black Season 2 with Mumsnet: Join in the discussion and win a £250 John Lewis voucher

Back in December, Mumsnetters got stuck into season 1 of Netflix original series Orange is the New Black, starring Taylor Schilling and Jason Biggs. After a lot of exciting discussion and anticipation on the thread, we can reveal that our next Watch with Mumsnet will be Orange is the New Black season 2, available to watch only on Netflix.

"I’m scared that I’m not myself in here and I’m scared that I am."

Based on the acclaimed memoir of the same name, the series follows Brooklynite Piper Chapman, who is sentenced to 15 months in prison for a crime she committed 10 years ago.

The show tracks Piper’s journey as she adapts to her new life and tries to stay out of trouble. Despite her best efforts to fit in, things don’t quite go according to plan and Piper gets mixed up in all sorts of sticky situations, from her many social blunders with fellow inmates, to run-ins with the corrupt prison guards, as well as an expected encounter from her past.

Along the way we are introduced to the hilarious cast of characters, from one of the most impressive (almost) all-female ensembles in recent years. As Piper struggles to adjust to her new reality, she finds unexpected laughter, tears, conflict and camaraderie amidst an eccentric and outspoken group of inmates.

Now back for a new season, we can’t wait to see what’s in store of the inmates of Litchfield Prison. Here’s what Mumsnetters said about the first series:

•“I loved this! I decided to watch it a couple of weeks ago and ended up watching the whole series in two days, I can't wait for series two.”

•“When my husband told me about this epic series, I was nonplussed. However, when I saw that it was from a seemingly sane and intelligent woman's perspective, my interest definitely changed. My parents brought me up to appreciate strong female (and male) characters and 'Orange is the new Black' has these aplenty.”

•“It is very addictive, I watched them all in about 2 weeks and now I'm gagging for more. Can't wait to see what happens in the next series after that ending”

Ooh excellent! Marking my place, will start to watch tomorrow night when DP at work, Season 1 helped me through the long night feeding sessions with DS, a few months down the track I'll hopefully be a bit more awake for this season!

I think the first episodes were good but it's got samey quickly for me. It's all a bit predictable character wise - there's noticeably one of each type character to cover the spectrum of PC acceptability.I liked Piper but she's too " sex in the city" rather than "medium" as a lead.The best bits are the graphic sex! It adds an edge and it's not often you hear a frank discussion about fisting in a mainstream drama.

I am really looking forward to this! Dinner in the oven, dcs in bed, wine in the fridge and episode one ready to go. I'm going to ration myself so I don't end up having watched them all by 10am tomorrow morning.

But your description in the OP is a bit misleading - it's funny, for sure. Laugh out loud funny in places. But "hilarious" makes it sound like knock-about comedy whereas a lot of it it is bleak and troubling. Series one was a bit like real life, actually - humour, sadness, anger and fucked-upness all mixed in together.
